“A Glimpse of Heaven, A Taste of Hell” – TRT motto
Well, I’m not even sure where this idea of one day running
100 miles came from, but now that I’m an official entrant in the Tahoe Rim
Trail 100 Mile Endurance Run this July, I better make it count.
I think this whole ultra running thing started back when I
ran the Silver State 50K in May of ‘91. I’ve only done 10 ultra marathons since
then and even volunteered to pace the last 38 miles of the Western States Run
twice, but have yet to begin my own journey towards one of the most challenging
endurance events of my life, until now.
Just the thought of actually seeing my name on a hundred
mile confirmed registration list, has totally changed my perspective on
training and created a whole new focus on running and life itself.
I still can’t believe I’m, but I do believe that I can
finish. I want to prove that to myself in a little less than 24 weeks from
today and through this journal document the trials and tribulations of training
for a 100 mile run.
Oh yeah, and I also hope to find just a little support along
the way, but a whole lot more at the finish. Let the journey begin. See you at
Spooner Lake….
It will be nice to see you on the other side this time as you come in at the tail end of that first 50 mile loop.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean the tail end? I want to be at the front end.
